After HF21, some steemians have been participating in a flag war mostly using their free flags to downvote any post that has used bidbots. I think we can all agree that if shit posts or spams use bidbots, they should get flagged but legit posts or posts that can actually add value to the system, in my view and many other's should be allowed to use bidbots. So what's the solution? I think the solution is easy. The people participating in these flag wars aren't going to stop unless we fight back or power down and dump. I'd rather we fight back. I'm happy to manage the movement to fight back.
We can start right now and bidbots need to come and help this fightback too. We need your free flags! We need to identify steemians who flag posts that add value only because they've used bidbots. Then we need to not only flag all of their posts but to also flag anyone they upvote. This is the only way to give them a taste of their own medicine. They'll either stop or at least the reward pool will balance itself up. Furthermore, bidbots can offer more upvote so people would still use them and know that they can still keep a big portion of their upvote even if they get flagged.
If we don't fight back, millions of steem invested in bidbots will be powered down and dumped on the market. Price of steem will tank to less than 5 cents if we don't fix this. If you agree with me please consider sharing this post around so it gets the attention it needs. I suspect that the majority of people won't care and steem will tank so I'm already powering down to sell unless things change.
